DUBAI - Jesus is Lord (JIL) Church founder and leader Bro. Eddie Villanueva has accused poll and media organizations of manipulating surveys especially on presidential aspirants for the 2010 national elections.Villanueva made the statement while in Dubai where he led the 7th anniversary of the JIL movement in the United Arab Emirates. More than 2,000 members of the church attended the event.
Villanueva, in an interview with ABS-CBN Middle East Bureau, said his name was not being included in the list of presidential aspirants in surveys conducted in various provinces.
"Kasi maraming reports kaming tinanggap sa ibat ibang probinsya. Sino ang gusto niyo sa presidentiable na ito, eh wala ‘yong gusto namin, eh bakit hindi niyo ilagay si Bro. Eddie diyan? Sabi daw order ito sa Maynila eh. This is a deliberate conspiracy, sabi ng mga principled journalists sa akin. Deliberate conspiracy para hindi makasama sa rating, para iyong mga tao ma-discourage,” said Villanueva in the interview.
Included in the anniversary celebration’s program was an audio-visual presentation titled “Who is Brother Eddie?”
The focus of the 8-minute presentation was an apparent platform of government for his 2010 presidential run under the Bangon Pilipinas Party.
"Hindi natin pwedeng i-abandon ang pangarap ng lahing Pilipino na magkaroon ng tunay na pagbabago. Kaya patuloy ang laban sa pagbangon ng Pilipinas."
"Ako naman kaya ako nabubuhay para lang gawin ang gusto ng Diyos sa buhay ko... Ang mahalaga sa akin, maging president ako o hindi, ang mahalaga sa akin ay magkaroon ng tunay na pagbabago para mapalaya ang lahing Pilipino sa puwersa ng kadiliman. At ang mga Pilipino, umuwi na sa kani-kanilang pamilya at makaranas ng kasaganaan sa Pilipinas," said Villanueva.
Villanueva admitted he feared that the true results of the 2010 elections would not come out which is the same, he said, as in previous elections.
"Number 1 apprehension, kapag ang media ay hindi na fair at meron nang kinakampihan, talagang hindi magkakaroon ng tagumpay ang katotohanan," said the religious leader.
He still however encouraged overseas Filipino workers to participate and vote in the 2010 elections.
"’Wag nating pabayaan ang last window of opportunity na magkaroon ng matino, matapat na pamahalaan na siyang susi para sa tunay na pagbabago at tunay na pagbangon ng ating bansa, may pag-asa pa. God bless the Philippines," said Villanueva.
Villanueva said he believes that his hopes to be the president of the Philippines is God-ordained. He said he expects that JIL members will help him achieve his mission.
JIL reportedly has 5 million members in the Philippines and in various parts of the world. by Dindo Amparo, ABS-CBN News Middle East Bureau chief
